   I don't know why but when I think of my wasted, TV-addled youth I seem   
   to recall the "lesser" oaters as being more enjoyable than the later   
   westerns.  Maybe the genre grew up too much?

   I'm with you there.  I liked Westerns better when they didn't try too hard.   
   I got the Lone Star channel for a while and revisited many of the TV western   
   shows of my youth.  I'd forgotten how good so many of them were, well   
   written and not afraid to have some good natured fun with the genre.
